i need info on what water pump and pulleys to use on a 84 ranger 5.0 conversion. i have a 302(bored 0.20) roller motor (late 80's) completely rebuilt with comp cam, pistons etc... gt40p heads, edelbrock performer rpm intake, edelbrock 650cfm carb but i am not sure which water pump and pulleys to use. I have the stock water pump and serpentine belt setup. will it work? Or fit i should say? also still need to buy ignition or should i use dura spark 2 module and vac advance distributor out of 70's 302 being as I already have these parts? Also can I use the stock alternator that came on the 5.0 and power steering off the 5.0 being as they are already set up for the serpentine belt and i have these parts or do i need to use the v6 2.8 ps pump and alt?
 
the big question is which water pump and serpentine belt set-up do you have there are a few different ones. I have the explorer pump and power steering pump and alternater brackets that I am using. Your best bet is to do a search on here I know there is a lot of good info on the different set-ups.
 
Take as look at my thread, page 66 where my 302 swap starts, and it may answer a few questions.

Link is in my sig.

The brackets and ps pump i have are from late 80's lincoln. Sane with the water pump
 
My engine came out of a 91 Marquis but the brackets and whatnot came off of 80s crown vics and Marquis, had to piece my FEAD since my engine didn't come with most of it. Both are the same cars, just one had more options.
